Rashi 1 of 12

MeshaA sign, one twelfth of the zodiac. In Indian practice your rashi is the sign the Moon was in, not the Sun.

Aries · The Ram

Every reading computed from where the grahas actually stand rather than written in advance. And it follows your moon sign, not the Western sun sign from your birthday.

Ruling grahaOne of the nine: the seven visible bodies plus Rahu and Ketu, the two lunar nodes. A graha is read as a force at work, not as a lump of rock.

Where the Moon is today

The Moon is in Kumbha

The Moon is in your house of gains and friends today. Say yes to the plan, follow up on money owed to you, lean on your circle. Days like this bring things to you if you stay reachable.

Shukla pakshaThe bright fortnight, new Moon to full, the Moon larger every night. Most beginnings, from opening a shop to a wedding, are put in this half., DwadashiThe twelfth tithi, and the day an Ekadashi fast is broken. Getting the hour of that paran right is one reason tithi timings are printed at all. tithiThe lunar day. It runs from one step of the Moon's phase to the next, so it rarely begins at sunrise. Fasts and festivals are fixed by it. is running. Positions read at 9:27 pm IST.

An ordinary day for health. Nothing to worry about, and nothing to push either. Income arrives from more than one direction today, and a friend may be the reason. An ordinary day at home. Small chores and easy conversations, nothing dramatic. Friendship is the shape of it today. Do not push it to be more before it is ready. A useful day for contacts. One conversation today saves a week later. A pleasant evening is available today. Plan it in the morning or it will not happen. A warm day with your husband or wife. Good for a shared meal or a plan made together.

Lucky number
4Rahu’s number. The Moon is in your 11th today, and the 11th is Rahu’s house.
Lucky colour
Brown and smoke greyfor Mesha, the same Rahu the number comes from. Yellow and saffron is the whole day’s colour, for everyone, because today is Jupiter’s day.
Remedy
Learn something on purpose today, even for fifteen minutes. Guru is repaid in study.For Jupiter, because it is Jupiter’s day. Free, and nothing to buy.

The sentences, and the bars further down, are one score per area, from six things the day has: the Moon’s house from your rashi (the 11th, which is friends, income, and the people who open doors), the mood of the star the Moon is passing through, what the weekday is good for, and where Venus, Mars and Mercury stand from your rashi. The lucky number and colour belong to the graha whose house the Moon is standing in, so they differ for every rashi and move as she does. The remedy goes to whichever of the six areas scored worst, taking turns with anything standing over your rashi and with the lord of the day, so it is always something you can actually do this morning.

What today means for you

Four parts of life, read off the same Moon. Where the Moon is standing decides which of them today actually touches.

  • Love

    Neither warm nor cold today. A normal conversation is worth more than a grand gesture.

    Love sits in your 5th and 7th houses. The Moon is in your 11th today, which is not one of them.

  • Career

    Colleagues cooperate today. Good for team work and for getting a decision made.

    Career sits in your 6th and 10th houses. The Moon is in your 11th today, which is not one of them.

  • Money

    Your finances look better tonight than they did this morning. Say yes to the offer.

    Money sits in your 2nd and 11th houses. The Moon is in your 11th today, which is one of them.

  • Health

    Your body is fine as long as you do not overdo it. Keep meals regular.

    Health sits in your 1st and 6th and 8th houses. The Moon is in your 11th today, which is not one of them.

Slow transits

Where Shani and Guru stand for you right now

Shani

Sade Sati is running — first phase

Sade SatiThe roughly seven and a half years Saturn takes to cross the sign before your Moon, your Moon sign itself, and the one after. It asks for patience, not panic. runs seven and a half years, not a lifetime. ShaniSaturn. Work, delay, discipline and old age. Nothing it gives arrives early, and very little of what it gives is ever taken back. is in the 12th from MeshaThe first rashi, Aries. Ruled by Mangal and a fire sign: it starts things, moves first, and would rather act than plan.: Sade Sati is the stretch while Shani crosses the 12th, 1st and 2nd from your rashiA sign, one twelfth of the zodiac. In Indian practice your rashi is the sign the Moon was in, not the Sun., and it is currently in its first phase. This is a position, not a verdict — it says where Shani is, not what will happen to you.

Guru

Ruled by Chandra and a water sign: attached to home and family, protective, and it feels everything first., the 4th from MeshaThe first rashi, Aries.

Transits are what make one year feel unlike the last. table singles out as supportive.

This rashi’s own nature

What kind of rashi Mesha is

Every rashi has a lord and an element. What makes Mesha a particular rashi is who else shares them. Simha and Dhanu are the other two fire rashis, and they stand at the 5th and the 9th from Mesha — on this wheel an element and a trikona are the same triangle.

Mars rules Vrischika as well, so those and Mesha answer to one graha — whatever Mars is doing in the sky, it is doing to both.

Moon sign, not sun sign

Is Mesha really your rashi?

Your rashi is your moon sign — where the Moon stood when you were born — not the Western sun sign from your birthday, and for most people the two are different.
